How do I manage low value assets?
Cheqroom can be used to manage a wide variety of assets. For low value items without individual identification, using bulk items can simplify distribution and management.
Bulk Items
A bulk item in Cheqroom is an asset type tracked by total quantity rather than as individual units. Instead of managing each item separately, you set a total count and Cheqroom tracks how many are available at any given time. Examples of bulk items include:
- Office supplies (pens, notebooks, paper)
- Cables and adapters
- Consumables and disposable items
When managing bulk items, you can:
- Set and update quantities as stock is added or consumed
- Monitor current stock levels at a glance
- Receive low-stock alerts when quantities fall below a defined threshold
- Check out bulk items as part of a reservation or kit
This approach saves time compared to tracking every individual item, while still giving you full visibility and control over your inventory.
To add a bulk item, go to your inventory, select Add Item, and choose Bulk Item as the item type. Enter a name, category, and starting quantity to get started.
